Brief Answer:
Please, you need testing for probable infection!

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.

From the information you have provided, there are reasons to be concerned about possible infection of the urogenital system. This could be cause by an ordinary germ or one of the germs responsible for sexually transmitted infections. If you have had unprotected sex, then this could be a possibility. If you have not, then it would most likely not be the case.

In either case, you need to get tested to identify the germ and treat accordingly. You would need at least a urinary culture and other tests gonorrhea, syphilis, chlamydia, etc depending on your sexual history.

It is rather unfortunate that you do not have insurance but you would not also want to gamble with your life. I strongly recommend you do all and get consulted by a doctor. Failure to do so may result in far reaching complications and consequences that are totally preventable with prompt diagnosis and correct treatment.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
You are not contagious by using the same bath tub

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You are not going to contaminate others by sharing same materials with them in the house. What I will discourage is unprotected sex as we are not ye sure about what we are dealing with here.

I am convinced after diagnosis, this condition can be cured using antibiotics. But at this time, making the diagnosis is what matters most. Tests would be able to address this problem and offer and answer.

I will allow your doctor to ask tests depending on his findings after examining you. Be relaxed and do not request for any test upfront unless he fails to accurately pinpoint the problem.

I wish you well and keep me updated.
